Fixed: ‘Rescue Medic’ Perk

• We’ve fixed the issue where the perk ‘Rescue Medic’ would not proc when Virginia uses Boon with Level 3 “Powder Cloud heals Victims 3 points per second while inside cloud” equipped on her ability tree (this is her middle route).
• ‘Rescue Medic’ is described as, “healing others adds 50%/70%/100% more health to your target, while simultaneously healing you a random amount.”
• Now, ‘Rescue Medic’ works in tandem with her Boon ability at Level 3

Fixed: ‘Medical Benefits’ Perk

• Similar to the issue described above, we’ve fixed the problem where the perk ‘Medical Benefits’ would not trigger with Virginia’s Level 3 Boon
• ‘Medical Benefits’ is described as, “Healing a fellow Victim also heals yourself. The amount of health received will be 40%/60%/80% of total healing applied to your teammate.”

Fixed: ‘Rough Cut’ Perk

• We have fixed an issue where Leatherface’s perk ‘Rough Cut’ was not activating properly all the time
• The perk will now activate properly for all chainsaw attack types

Fixed: ‘Headstart’ Perk

• We have fixed an issue where Danny’s perk ‘Headstart’ was incorrectly highlighting fuses and valves for all Victims.
• Now when active, fuse and valve highlights will only be visible to the perk holder

Fixed: ‘Security Pins’ and Cook’s Locks

• We have fixed the issue where the perk ‘Security Pins’ would not apply to Cook’s locks when another Family member would interact with it (unlocking/locking it)
• ‘Security Pins’ works as follows: added locks are 10%/30%/50% harder to unlock for Victims.

Fixed: Cook Padlock Visibility on Slaughterhouse

• We have fixed an issue where a padlock placed on the Slaughterhouse metal door was not always visible to Cook when using his Family Focus Ability

Fixed: Bone Scraps and Nugget

• We fixed a bug that would let a Victim keep their bone scrap when stabbing Nugget
• Now, when stabbing Nugget, the bone scrap will be consumed

Fixed: Virginia’s Localization

• We have fixed the issue where Virginia's tutorial, her description, perk names, and related content were not localized when switching to different languages
• Now, localization for all languages will be present
